I need to know what the best method for this would be:

My game has ships and their weapons use firing arcs. So if an enemy is in one of these arcs the weapon will auto-target, AND I want a lot of ships, 20+

So, should I use a sprite to detect this (which would mean that the firing arcs are not customizable which I would rather avoid) OR values which could be customized, but maybe slower?

Top down, side view?

The ball behavior would be the simplest for side view.

Then the path behavior for top down.

"distance(.x,.y, enemy.x,enemy.y)/2"

Add node at clamp(normalrandom(radius),max +,max-) distance from the midpoint, x, or y depending on how the ship is facing, then add node at enemy x,y.
